Introduction: A Multi-Purpose Cable for Modern USB-C Devices
As the world increasingly shifts toward USB-C for everything from smartphones and laptops to monitors and docking stations, having the right cable becomes essential—not just any cable, but one that can handle charging, data, and video output all at once.
The UGREEN USB-C 3.1 Gen1 Cable (US161) delivers a well-rounded, high-quality solution. It supports 60W fast charging, 5Gbps high-speed data transfer, and 4K@60Hz video output—all from a 1.5-meter durable cable.
This cable is engineered for those who demand flexibility, performance, and reliability across all USB-C tasks, whether at home, in the office, or on the move.
Built for the Triple Threat: Power, Data & Display
Unlike standard charging cables, the US161 is designed to do much more. It supports:
-
Power Delivery up to 60W – for rapid laptop, phone, and tablet charging
-
USB 3.1 Gen1 Data Transfer at 5Gbps – to sync and transfer large files fast
-

This is not just a charging cable. It’s a complete connection tool.
Fast Charging – 60W PD for Everyday Efficiency
The UGREEN US161 supports USB Power Delivery (PD) of up to 60W (20V/3A), making it compatible with a wide range of modern devices. Whether you’re charging a MacBook Air, Dell XPS, iPad Pro, or your latest Android phone, this cable keeps power flowing efficiently.

Supports USB-C laptop charging
-
Fast charging for smartphones, tablets, and hubs

Whether you’re working remotely or travelling, you don’t want to be slowed down by power. This cable keeps your devices energized reliably.
5Gbps Data Transfer – Efficient File Handling
Speed matters. Especially when you’re transferring large videos, high-res photos, or crucial work documents.
The US161 delivers 5Gbps transfer speeds (USB 3.1 Gen1 standard), allowing you to:

4K@60Hz Video Output – Crisp Visuals Without Delay
Connect your laptop to an external USB-C-enabled monitor or projector and enjoy crystal-clear resolution at 4K@60Hz. This makes the US161 ideal for:
-
Presentations in boardrooms or classrooms
-
Editing high-resolution media content
-
Watching 4K movies on larger screens
-

Just plug and play—no drivers needed.
Note: Video output depends on device support (your phone, tablet, or laptop must support USB-C video output such as DisplayPort Alt Mode).
1.5-Meter Length – Flexible Without Clutter
The 1.5-meter length strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and tidiness:
-
Long enough for couch, desk, or charging station use
-
Easy to carry in a tech bag
-
Great for on-the-go professionals
-
Keeps your desk or workspace clean and organized
It’s a practical length that suits both desktop and mobile lifestyles.

Daily usage demands strength. The US161 features:
-
Reinforced TPE outer layer for durability and flexibility
-
Strain relief design to prevent bending at weak points
-
Nickel-plated USB-C connectors to resist rust and oxidation
-
Smooth grip and plug-in/out comfort
It withstands thousands of insertions and bends—because performance should last longer than your last device upgrade.
